My Family and I love Bun, and he brings so much warmth into our home. We are enjoying our new addition to our family very much, he is lively and energetic, and he adapted to change very quickly. ~Leah Hey Chris and Annabel thank you so much for your help in finding our very much loved new kitty.

He is so loving and enjoys being with people and is a real clown. Big Red is the clown of the house. He is so loving and loves to be held. You did a wonderful job in raising him. He is not having any problems with the litter box any more...it was just the first night. You have done a great job raising your cats and they are in excellent health. I plan to get another kitten from your cattery sometime this year (2005). Thank you again!! ~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~* |

Date: May 18, 2005 Kitten: Chocolate Point, Female (Shiloh) Hi Chris and Annabel, this little kitten is nothing short of being perfect. She has a personality that wont stop, which tells me she had GREAT parents, and her birth mother did a pretty good job too. This little kitten is talkative, playful, silly, inquisitive and quite a cuddlier, loves under the chin. She took to our Seal point Siamese after 3 days like long lost sisters. You two have a wonderful cattery, clean and well organized You are very thorough, and making sure the kittens are raised well and healthy. This comes through in the personality. A++ from me and Shilo, for giving her such a great start in life. ~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~ |

Date: July 25, 2005 Kitten: Seal Tortie Point, Female (Lila) Lila has taken over the whole house and is having a blast. She is very much a mamma's girl, Practically ignoring my roommate. The older kitty (age 14) is tolerating her and allows her to play with her tail but does not like the nursing attempts. My 6 year old kitty is still adjusting. Lila is one of the happiest little kitties I have ever had. She is not afraid to demand food or attention- sometimes the screaming method, sometimes the intense purring method. She already knows her name and comes racing down the stairs as soon as I get home. She plays nonstop, always looking for the newest toy and then loves to curl up under my neck for some togetherness time. She moved into the bed on night #2 and is quite well behaved for someone so small. I am taking her to the vet tonight for her second set of shots. All in all a great success. ~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~ |

We are all well and LOVING our new kitten. The girls are great friends and play almost all the time. We call Mimi our love glutton because she can't have too much loving'. She loves tucking herself under my chin and sleeping there only after a certain amount of petting and tickling. She has definitely trained us. I find myself excited about getting home to see her and her sister who is a bit more stand offish and independent. So I usually have one on my lap and another under my chin. I followed your advice and went on e-bay and found a wonderful 2 cat condo which should be here any day. I'll try to get a new picture of her to email to you. Thanks again! ~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~ |

He ate a little bit of wet food (a half of a half can) but no water yet. He played a lot with his toys (balls-we bought 5 or 6...hehe, and 1 bear cat and 2 small bear dogs). He already scratched his post and ran under the sofa. We went to the kitchen to dinner and he stayed at the living room crying a little...but, we called him (a lot) and he went to the kitchen with us. But as soon as my husband went back to the living room, he went behind him. When I came from the kitchen...he was already in the sofa, beside my husband...almost sleeping!!! Then , we put him on my husband's chest and he is there right now...sleeping like a baby!!! And..he already went to get our legs...hehe!!! And now my husband just said that he didn't think that he would like a cat....and they're perfect together... My husband is so close to him that I am a little jealous sometimes...because he leaves me to be with him...and he didn't have any experience with cats!!! All this in less than a day, after a stressful trip of 10 hours. Thanks for this precious little friend!!! Ok..I think that these are the new adventures for now... ~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~ |

You have been so incredibly responsive, organized, thorough, conscientious, and caring, since the day we first called you. I cannot imagine how anything could have gone more smoothly. I just appreciate how you handled this experience so much! We love Bella, she is adorable, and has obviously been well cared for, loved, and socialized since she was born. She is the most self assured, well adjusted little thing! Thank you so much for blessing our lives with her, and for being so wonderful to work with throughout this entire process of getting her from your hands to ours. ~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~ |

We keep taking pictures of Bella because we can't get enough of her! She is absolutely the most ADORABLE kitten we've ever seen, and we love her more than we ever imagined possible. Since the day she arrived, we have been absolutely smitten. Bella is actually cuddled up in my lap right now, as I'm writing to you...she's purring away!!! We cannot thank you enough for making this experience PERFECT. You took care of all arrangements and coordinated details with my mom, for which I am so grateful. Thank you! I never knew a kitten could be so personable and well trained. Bella has blessed our family (which includes my husband, our boxer puppy, and myself) in many ways! Kona (our boxer) and Bella get along wonderfully, and we couldn't be more proud as parents! I would very highly recommend you to everyone I know! This experience has been truly positive! I would also recommend a Balinese kitten to any "cat-lover"--her personality is so unique. She is extremely playful while very affectionate. She loves to be with my husband and me at all times! He, too, is thrilled with our new addition! We can't thank you enough for blessing us with Bella. We are forever grateful. I've attached a few pictures for you! I thought you might like to see how she's doing! And yes, I did go to the Vet with her, and I did receive the documents you sent in the mail. Thank you for providing all of that!! I would love to stay in touch! ~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~ |

We are writing to let you know how much we enjoy our kitten “Charlie”. For one thing I like the fact [that] before we left your place Annabel made sure to clip his claws and gave us a lot of free things. We bought a 9 wk old 4 pt. [color carrying] Siamese. He slept all the way home, and when he met our [other] animals he showed them who was [the] boss. He is now long and very well fed and smart. I liked the fact that ya'll [helped make] it easy to work [with] our military schedule to pick him up. ~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~ |

My little boy, who is now 1 year old, is so friendly and affectionate. He is so handsome and everyone he meets falls in love with him. Our new little girl is turning out to also be very social and quite loving and affectionate. It is obvious you have done a wonderful job socializing them both. You have been very helpful answering all my questions. I have been 100% pleased with my experience both times around and would highly recommend you both to anyone looking for a Siamese kitten to brighten their life!

~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~ From: Candice, B. - Sunnyvale, CA Date: September 26/27, 2006 Kitten: Seal Point Siamese, Male (Jango) Hi Annabel, Just a note to tell you what a great kitten Jango is! He adapted right away, and is fearless, smart, affectionate, active, healthy, and on and on. Everything is perfect with this kitten. I have had three kittens in my life, and he has the best characteristics of each of them! He eats like a horse so he shouldn't be so small in a few weeks. I called my vet's office (Dr. Paul Umeda in Sunnyvale--the best vet I've encountered on the Peninsula). Neither he nor his partner vet had an opening until Thursday and on Monday, Jango will be 12 weeks and due for his second shot. Since I see no indication of any health problems, I made an appointment next Monday afternoon. He and Carey (my 4-year-old Seal Point) are friends already. She is very healthy (has sneezed twice in her life and has great teeth that have never needed to be cleaned--I do brush her teeth regularly). She is enjoying having more entertainment in the house (she is in her usual position at the windowsill watching birds at the feeder--which she interrupted to check on us). Just now Jango stopped playing with his toys and climbed up on my lap. He is now sitting on my shoulder while purring loudly. Wasn't expecting the "runt of the litter" to be so confident and fearless. He was lying next to two "rat" toys when I brought canned food to him the first time (when he was isolated in a room by himself the first few days). He stood up and nudged both of the toys towards the food. When they weren't interested in eating, he dove in. What a polite little kitten. Great expressive eyes. He follows things very closely, and there seems to be a deep intelligence in his watchfulness. Thanks for bringing such a great cat into the world! I'll send a few photos. I am very very very impressed with this kitten (and I am not that easily impressed). You have done an excellent job. As the "runt" of the litter I was not expecting him to be the most confident, self-assured, poised, affectionate kitten I have ever known. (The "how to pick a kitten books" warn to not get the runt.) I think Jocko was the runt--at least he was the only one not picked of his siblings and was not very confident, although a wonderful cat with a quirky personality who evolved to be self-assured. Jango is very affectionate with me, Keith, and my big Siamese. A big purrer, too. He was the one who initiated contact with my older Siamese! I took a photo today of them sleeping next to each other. Soon they will be entwined, I am certain. Carey is enjoying playing hide and seek with him, and watching him play makes her more active. Right now Jango has formed a little sleeping "nest" surrounded by toys and is resting after a hectic morning. I took a picture of him in his nest, but it is with my big camera, and I have to find the connector to download photos from it. Film cameras were easier in some respects. I'll let you know what Dr. Paul and his team think of him. I'm sure they will be won over. Thank you! ~Candice ~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~ |
~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~ From: Margaret, K. - Los Angeles, CA Date: November 29, 2006 Kitten: Seal Point Balinese Females (2), (Isabelle & Annabelle) I apologize for the lateness in getting this testimonial to you . . . Please know that I think of both of you every day knowing the joy that you both have given me. From the moment I spoke with Chris until the moment I picked up my girls . . . You made this “adoption” so smooth and enjoyable. Chris constantly gave me updates from the moment their moms were pregnant, letting me know when they were born, sending weekly pictures so that I could enjoy their growth and watch even their personalities flourish. My girls have filled my home with such love, laughter, devilishness from the moment they arrived. Isabelle, my Balinese, is my sweet loving chunky monkey child, although she does not like to be held, she does love to sit in your lamp, of course when it’s convenient for her. She’s finding her voice now and certainly lets me know when she wants attention. Annabelle, my Siamese and “devil” child, is into everything, and of course knows what the word no is but pays no mind to it. She loves being held, of course, when it’s convenient for her, and is the best snuggler. She will go in the living room and cry at the top of her lungs where you think she’s being hurt and you run in to see if she’s okay and she’s just sitting there thinking – yes I’ve got her wrapped around my paw! Thank you for filling my heart with love. I could not imagine what my world would be without them. I highly recommend to anyone that if you are contemplating getting a kitten that you think about getting two. They are such great company for each other, and although their personalities are different, they love each other. I will forever be in your debt and would recommend you highly to anyone who is looking to have a loving “child” or “children” in their home. Your friend forever, Margaret ~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~ |

I purchased a gorgeous two month old male, chocolate point Siamese from To-Pher Cattery, and I have never gotten a kitten that bonded with me so quickly. I believe this was possible due to the good job To-Pher {cattery} did in socializing their kittens. When I took my kitten to my veterinarian for his first exam, my doctor even commented on how well behaved and socialized he was. It is obvious my kitten had been well cared for and raised in a clean, healthy environment. In addition to a healthy kitten, To-Pher gives you so much more. Not only are you provided with coupons and samples of good quality kitten food, and even kitty litter, but To-Pher {cattery} spends the time to answer your questions and to give you helpful advice about keeping your pet healthy and safe. When you leave To-Pher {cattery}, you are sent off with your kitten, food and litter samples, and many pamphlets and pieces of information on such topics as pet insurance, what to ask and watch for when getting your pet his/her shots and getting him;her altered/spayed {neutered}, dangerous plants to avoid, info on different types of cat food, and much more. Not only do you take away physical extras in addition to your new family addition, but To-Pher {cattery} makes themselves available to you if you have questions or concerns after getting your new arrival home. One thing I particularly appreciated was the fact that after having my pet for about a week, To-Pher {cattery} called me to see if everything was okay. This told me that To-Pher {cattery} really cared about their kittens and wanted their kittens to be placed in good, loving homes. I would definitely want to purchase all my Siamese babies from To-Pher because I know that I would be getting a loving and healthy pet. ~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~ |

Dear Annabel, Sorry for taking so long to get this to you. We've been busy loving our kitty that you provided for us. Anyway, we want to give you a reference for your cattery. We are so happy with our chocolate point female, who we named "Annie." She has loads of spunk, and is also very sweet and loving. Annabel and Chris {of To-Pher Cattery} provided us with a healthy, well cared for kitten, including lots of information and support. We would highly recommend them for the purchase of a traditional Siamese kitten. They obviously greatly love their cats, and are at the same time very professional. Thanks again, Annabel and Chris, for our "Annie." She fits right in with our family, and has even made friends with our two Jack Russell Terriers, who have the utmost respect for her. ~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~ |

He is loving, unafraid, sweet, playful and incredibly cute. He sleeps draped around my neck all night. He is absolutely thriving. We could not be happier with him. 03/06/07: Dear Annabel, I cannot thank you enough for raising such a wonderful, loving kitten. Shipping him to Washington, DC could not have been easier. We could track his flight, he arrived on time and he was immediately affectionate. The trip did not appear to bother him in the least! Alfie is a beautiful, confident and healthy kitten. He's joined our family (children, dog and Siamese cat) without any problems and is adored by all. We can tell he was loved from the start, and we really appreciate the quality of your cattery. Proof is in the little one purring in my lap. Thank you, Meredith ~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~ |

He is happy and healthy and everyone who sees him is smitten by him. He is the most intelligent cat I've ever had the pleasure to be owned by. He is everything we hoped he would be. You give new meaning to the term "raised by hand".

The whole experience was wonderful, from our first contact on the telephone through the day I picked ChaiLai PhaiLin up from your home. The kittens you breed are not only beautiful and healthy, but very well socialized and happy. ChaiLai is just a gorgeous little bundle of love and activity, and has made a conquest of everyone who has come in contact with her. Having her baby pictures available online while waiting for her to be old enough to come to her new home was a real treat and gave me a chance to get a very early start on her own photo album! Again, thank you so much for all your help and assistance (the follow-up call the week after the adoption was very nice). I would definitely recommend your cattery to anyone who is looking for a Siamese or Balinese kitten. Sincerely, Vickie L.

Siamese) Have I told you how much we are enjoying our girl. She is the most fun, friendly, outgoing and playful. She has a little bit of the diva in her, but no so much. She talks a lot, but still in a baby voice. She's getting into most everything here. I really have to watch her to make sure she doesn't get hurt. She's fearless. She has about tripled in size since she came here. She likes her food. She's learned that making beds is a good time. They all love to play in the beds while you try to make it. I usually just make it right over them. Andrew loves her so much. He carries her around and she lets him. She's a far cry from our old lady cat who hates to be touched. Anyway, just thought I'd let you know and send you a couple of photos. (Photo's Courtesy of "Harriet, M.") ~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~ |

Balinese) Dear Annabel, We absolutely adore the newest member of our family. We've been meaning to write or call to let you know just how appreciative we are of the care you've taken, and how absolutely delighted we are with him. I know we may have appeared a bit ambivalent when we picked him up (we were very attached to our last Balinese cat, Sumba), but rest assured we are now adoring parents. What a wonderful kitten he is. We are completely won over. His new name is Omar. He is so handsome, sociable, lovable, well-mannered, playful, and bright! Sometimes he seems like a wise old soul. His coat is luxurious, his coloring is stunning, and everyone who sees him comments on his beautiful clear blue eyes. He is a very handsome cat and we lavish attention on him, so he is well fed, groomed and attended to. He is incredibly good-natured, and loves to be close to us, which makes us all very happy. He has a very quiet little meow, but purrs up a storm. He loves to be held, and we all love holding him. His whiskers are finally beginning to grow back, if slowly. The return trip was good. It was a nice quiet transition, cool and comfortable in our car, and he seemed quite happy to sleep in his carrier and get cuddle breaks when we stopped along the way. He also ate and drank well, so we didn't need to worry about him getting dehydrated on the trip. It was actually a good way to bond since there were few distractions. He seems very happy here and has quickly learned to find his way around. We didn't need any special treatment for his litter. He is already quite fastidious, and the "World's Best Litter" is great. We've ordered more NuVet supplement and he has had a good appetite. You've done such a great job of training and socializing him. A special thanks to Dominick from us. We will send along pictures soon. Thanks again. Best, Catherine, F. & family ~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~ |

She is so much much and sweet, sweet, sweet. Loves to play but loves to cuddle, too. She interacts well with Alex (my 5-year old seal point Balinese). She loves to pounce on his big fluffy tail and he loves to tease her with it. I'm so glad to have her. Makes recovery from surgery so much better! Take care and God Bless. ~Sharlene & Ward ~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~ |

Siamese) As you can see by the attached picture Elvis has turned into a handsome young man. Though he is mischievious, he is cute and forgivable. He still likes to attempt to nurse off of his sisiters who still don't find this practice amusing but have taken him in as one of their own. Elvis is a lover who like to make his rounds making sure everyone gets a chance to love him back. Thank you Annabel for producing such a wonderful pet who is very much part of our family.

Siamese) Well my daughter and I just fell hopeless in love with little Israel (now Starbuck) and our ride home may have been long but as you can see from the picture Starbuck enjoyed it. With a little time and love Mr Starbuck and my daughter's cat Madison Lee got along just fine as you can see from the other picture I am sending you. From the third picture I am sending you, you can see that Mr Starbuck is quite willing to share Ms Madison new cat condo with her. Mr Starbuck is such a wonderful little guy. No problems what so ever in his adapting and using the potty box and everything. Starbuck loves to get love, kisses, petting, and combing and he just purrrs happily all the while. Although it has been years since I had a baby kitty, he is such a love and joy playing with his toys and running and jumping and letting you play with him. I think everyday both my daughter and I grow closer and closer to the little guy. I just love coming home and seeing his little teddy bear seal point Siamese face. I believe as a breeder you have done a wonderful job raising Starbuck during his earlier years to be healthy and happy and just a joy to be with. As I told you when I met you, I was very impressed with your website and your cattery from the beginning. Your website just really says you love your kitty's and you are concerned with {their} health and {longevity}. From your helpful hints to your healthy food suggestions your babies come first and for that I am glad because I am concerned with having a friend that will be with me a long long time. It was wonderful of you to send all of Starbuck's (Israel) pictures from a baby on until I got him. It really makes me feel I have been involved with the little guy since his birth. You know I have never seen another breeder to have so many pictures of each of {their} kittens. And I have never seen a breeder to send so much kitty goodies home with them and have them fixed and implanted with there finder chip [Micro-chip] as you do. Over all you are an extra-ordinary breeder {whose} kitties are just a joy and a love to have and be with. Thank you so much Ken B.

Siamese) Annabel and Chris, I want to thank you so much for Bentley, my little Lilac Point Siamese, he is so much fun to have in our family. He sleeps next to me in my bed every night and loves to spend all day in front of the window watching the prairie dogs run around our back yard. He loves to talk, too! We sometimes have full conversations with him, we will say something and he will meow right back, it is so funny! We also found out he likes to paint! I was working on a painting for a class, and he thought it would be fun to jump up into the paint and track paw prints all over the tile floor, my mom and I were covered in hot pink paint trying to wash his feet off, laughing uncontrollably the whole time. He has definitely been a pleasure to have around, our home must have been so boring with out him! Thank you again, you were wonderful in getting him safely to me in Phoenix, Arizona and have been so helpful in all the questions I have had about him. Our lives are so much more fun now that Bentley has come into our family! (Photo Courtesy of "Amanda, K.") ~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~ |
~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~ From: Victoria, G.~ Vacaville, CA Date: June 09, 2008 Kitten: Shehezerade, Female (Seal Pt. Siamese) Thank you so much for such a wonderful kitten. She’s a real live wire – I don’t remember my Persian ever being this active. She’s completely a “people kitty” and always wants to be with us. She’s still confined at night – every time I think I’ve completely “kitty proofed” my house, she’ll come up with something else she shouldn't be into - she’s trying, one petal at a time, to dismantle a bouquet of 24 silk roses. She also is convinced that “NO” means “LATER”. She answers to her name and comes running. She’s found her kitty condo is a great place to take a nap, but she reserves the mat under the little box for claw sharpening. She’s just about to start her 3rd pound of kibble with vitamins. She’s taken over the wicker waste paper basket in the family room as a great place to play and nap. After picking up the contents for the umpteenth time, it’ s hers – I can always throw stuff away behind the cupboard door in the kitchen. She got her stitches out at the Vet check the day after Memorial Day and my vet of many years, Doc Barnes (Animal Care Center, Vacaville) said, “you got a new one—and they don’t come much newer unless you grow them yourself.” She weighed a whopping 2 ½ pounds on that day and 3 pounds last Saturday when she had shot #2. Shot #3 is scheduled for Saturday June 28. She and the dog have hers and hers cat tracks (donut shaped with a ping pong type ball in them) and often play with them together – both paws hitting the ball back and forth. They nap together unless it’s too warm and seem to get along fine. They haven’t begun the chasing games yet, but any day now. She’s absolutely a perfect kitten! ~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~ |
~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~ From: Rebecca, G.~ Placerville, CA Date: June 27, 2008 Kitten: Lila V. Kittaen, Female (Lilac Pt. Siamese) Hi there Annabel and Chris!!! Where do I start??? Lila V.Kittaen, what a little clown she is. She is constantly making me laugh, she must be a direct descendant of the Flying Wollendas, I've never seen a kittie fly so high. Back to the 14th of June. Our ride home was pretty uneventful. Lila learned her name by the time we got home because every time she meowed, I would say, Lila! Or sometimes I would say, Lila V.Kittaen!!! We arrived home, brought her to our bedroom and let her out of the carrier. Lila stayed under the bed for a while, acting very timid. That night she climbed into our bed on her own, and dove under the covers where she slept all night. At 5:00 am the next morning, I awoke to her loud meows, she wanted some attention - and she wanted it right then and there. So I played with her until it was time for church. That same evening Lila began to fly. She flew from the bed to the chair and back again. She flew after her kittie toys, after she knocked them away with her paw. She flew after the Laser beam I shined on the floor. It appeared she was flying everywhere she went. Bruce put down our new floor, and we let her out of the bedroom after six days. She really flies now. She can't get any traction so she runs, slides and flies throughout the house. She greets us when we come home from running errands. She loves being petted and rubbed, her little motor purrs forever. The vet gave her a clean bill of health on the 16th of June, and Lila had her second vaccine on the 25th. We are so grateful for all you've done to make this transaction as smooth as possible. Lila is definitely one of the joys in our lives. I can't wait to see what she does next. God bless you and yours. Sincerely, Rebecca L. G. ~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~ |

Siamese) Hello Annabel, I would like to thank you for this adorable blue point Siamese kitten. Her new name is Kirakishou AKA Kira ^_^. She did not have any problems adjusting after a 10hr flight, when I brought her in the house I opened the crate and waited for her to come out. When she did, the first place she went to was her food and then her litter box-no problems there ^_^. She is very playful and at times mischievous but not at all aggressive, when I come home from work she will usually hide but after five minutes of me settling in she is back to her playful self. She is actually in my lap purring like a motorcycle as I'm writing to you, she loves attention and interactive play. Her first trip to the Vet was a pleasant one, her Vet along with the other Veterinarians at the clinic were very impressed with her along with Angelina's Seal Point Siamese she [bought] from you. She was impressed how you provided us with the kitten kit along with [an] Immunization and Health records card that I will bring with me every time she has a visit to the Vet. I cannot thank you enough for this new addition to the family, she is such a joy to be around! There is no doubt that I would highly recommend your cattery to anyone looking for a Traditional Siamese Kitten. Thank you again! LeiLani M.

~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~ From: Harvey, Susan, and Artie, D.~ Palo Alto, CA Date: March 02, 2009 Kitten: Artie V, Female (Seal Pt. Siamese) Dear Annabel, Artemis here. Please say hello to my cat mom and dad. I’m a lot bigger now. They would hardly recognize me. My new mom is letting me use her lap and her laptop. I adjusted to my new home really quick. I’m still in the bedroom with all my new toys but I got to meet my cousin for a few minutes the other day. He’s really furry! So far, he seems a little scared of little me so I’m careful not to hop on his back. My vet says I’m purrfect and we set up a schedule of visits. My new father says I am very smart for my size. He says he never saw a cat eat so much or learn so many games so fast. He asked me not to get up at 5 am to sing every morning. I’m considering his request but I think a kitten needs to exercise her lungs. Well, gotta go to work now…I push a ping pong ball around a blue oval track for my mother. She seems to need it. Who can account for grownup needs, but I do my best. Cordially, Your friend forever, Artie D. Hi Annabel, Artemis is doing great – fully adjusted and very happy. She is probably the smartest kitten we’ve had, certainly the best socialized. She loves her big brother, Black Persian Percy. Percy, on the other hand, can’t figure Artie out and sometimes keeps her distance – but no hissy fits. Artie is our 5th cat in 40 years and she’s tops. There is really nothing else to say, except thank you for doing such a great job raising her for us. Susan wanted a kitten that would bond instantly – and she got what she wanted. -Harvey (Photo Courtesy of "Harvey & Susan, D.") ~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~ |

~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~ From: Nancy, H. ~ San Francisco, CA Date: October 19, 2009 Kitten: Aloysius (Alley Oops, Wishes), Male (Chocolate Pt. Siamese) Hi Annabel, I must apologize for taking so long to write you with a review about little Molokai! But, better late... I can hardly believe that the cute little kitten that I brought home from your cattery is now 6 months old and weighed in at 9 pounds a few weeks ago. Molokai's new name is Aloysius (Alley Oops, Wishes) and he's as sweet and lovable as ever. When I told you the qualities I was looking for, I never thought that I would end up with a kitten that was such a perfect fit. It's almost like I had a hand in selecting his DNA. Aloysius' favorite toys are his Crinkle Balls and the mini Crinkle Balls and he brings one up on the bed in the morning and sets it down near my face. He loves to fetch and brings all of his toys right back to me and he'll even put them right in the palm of my hand. He also loves the feather sticks and drags even the biggest one across the room and even up on the bed as well. He's the cutest thing you've ever seen! Aly runs down the hallway ahead of me and jumps up on the bed to let me know that he wants me to throw his toys up in the air. We started this game shortly after he came home because the bed is the softest place to land. This kid can leap so high! He makes me laugh everyday and has brought unlimited joy into my home and heart. Aly also loves to slide under the covers and will even give me a gentle, playful nip on my knee every now and then. He has the most beautiful and loudest purr I've ever heard and if he's awake, his happy little motor is running. He adores his "big brother", the Tabby who escaped from a neighbor's apartment. The two of them play "chase me, catch me", "hide and jump on your brother" and they love to wrestle with each other. As you know, I was mourning over the loss of my last wonderful Siamese cat. Aloysius was the best medicine in the world! He always comes trotting in to meet me as soon as he hears the door and he has the sweetest little meow! I adore him and love him more than anything. It makes me feel so good to see him so happy and healthy. He's also great with my neighbor's Yorkie and has never even hissed at him. Aloysius is the softest, silkiest bundle of love you could ever imagine! I can't keep my hands off of him and he wants to be where I am so it doesn't get any better than this! I wouldn't think of going to anyone but you and I would recommend you to anyone who wants a healthy, happy and beautiful Siamese cat in their life. I can't wait until I can bring another one of your beautiful cats home with me. I just took a look at the latest kittens and they're all beautiful and so tempting! Thank you so much for filling an empty spot in my heart and my life with such a wonderful furry kid! I'm attaching some recent photos for you and I'll also send you a link to my Flickr page. If you ever think about going on Facebook, I wanted to let you know that I've signed up and I have lots of photos of Aloysius there. I'm going to write a review on Yelp.com and I'll forward the link to you as well. I'll make sure to include a link to your site with my review. I already have many photos of him on my Yelp profile. If you ever want to use me as a reference, I'd be more than happy to talk to someone about my experience with you. I'll have nothing but raves to give them! I'm also happy to write reviews anywhere else you think they'd be helpful so please ask if I can do anything to help. I hope this finds you and your lovely family happy and healthy!

Rambo [is] a sweet kitten, [and] its been about two weeks since he came home. Every day he comes more out of [the] new kitten shell, he is already king of the house. He has beautiful markings which are coming out. [One] day when he gets all his markings in, he is going to be a very handsome boy even more than he already is. He is such a lover, if I go anywhere he is waiting for me once i get home. Every body that sees him cant get over how beautiful he is. Again thanks for starting him on the right socialization [from] the start (which really helps your kittens out, when they get started on the right foot before they get the forever homes). I will definitely tell any one that wants a Siamese kitten to come to you. Thank you, Ernest C. ~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~ |

He hasn't even tried to climb the Christmas tree or play with the ornaments! We love him so much. He is such a cuddly boy! He is being properly spoiled (I think he owns every cat toy ever made!) He pretty much runs the entire house. He is quite the talker! (I love it!) He announces himself every time he enters the room! We are so happy with our beautiful little boy! We wanted you to know that he is very happy and so are we! ~Terri & Kevin ~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~ |

Siamese) Hi Annabel: I just wanted to update you on "Luke" when you had him. We named him "Manny". He is adorable, and now almost a year old (3/31/09 is his birthday). He came into our household with another cat (Abyssinian) and dog (King Charles Cavalier). They accepted him greatly, and now the three are best of friends. He has really brought a presence to our house, and is absolutely loved by everyone. Thanks, again, for such a wonderful Siamese cat. Regards, Steve, D.
